About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Mariah's World update (64,904) (64,907) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thing is if you are going to release something, just keep it to yourself and then start promoting the hell out of it lets say 2 months in advance so that people get caught up in the hype and tune in. Unless ofcourse you are Beyonce, then you just drop it overnight haha. But ya doing promo for it since months back without info. The trailer got a lot of attention but then we hear nothing about it. People don't even know that it has a Facebook page and the air date hasn't been mentioned there or on Mariah's own page. Mariah's world Facebook page has only 1500 subscribers. Because no one knows it exists. Does Stella just expect general people to check the news everyday to see when MW will air? (Tuesday 2 August 2016; 10:55)

Re: Mariah's World update (64,902) (64,906) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter But the SSFT is in November. This was supposed to air late summer/early fall, so if it aired in September, they would have been done by end of October since it's only 8 episodes. So once it aired she would have only needed to promote it during September. Go on with the tour in November. If the reason is to push AIWFCIY, she should have thought of that before and waited to promote it until atleast August instead of doing promo rounds since earlier this year.

Hair and makeup post (64,897) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah looks so stunning here. Everything about it, the hair, the make up, the edgy ensemble. I think she should definitely go to the darker 2008-2009 color for a change. Maybe switch it up this autumn and go darker with the hair color, it looks really good on her. Plus this is the type of eye makeup she needs, just small line to define the lash line, also the smaller full lashes are such a better alternative for her than the ones she wears now, which isn't flattering. This is another example of how light makeup takes years off her face. Recently she did do somewhat similar makeup and she looked straight out of 1999. Seriously if you have skin like Mariah's why would you even bother caking it up? Leave that to Non-Stellar. (Tuesday 2 August 2016; 2:16)

Re: What Would You Do? (64,878) (64,889) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I will definitely have a good arm workout while carrying out that operation. Stella's contour is so harsh, it looks like it's painted on with a permanent sharpie. (Monday 1 August 2016; 19:08)

Mariah's World update (64,888) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Mariah's World" will air on Sunday at 9P ET. Series premiere on December 4. She will be attending the NBC Universal press tour this Wednesday. Why is it airing so late? She started promoting it since earlier this year. No one will remember the promo rounds for 5 months until it airs. That's weird. I agree this is looking like MIAM era again. Anyways at least she has an air date. (Monday 1 August 2016; 19:07)

Re: Something's wrong (64,871) (64,873) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This whole drinking and partying lifestyle would have been a great publicity stunt for a reality show if Mariah was in her early 20s or a major rock star. This kind of behavior would get attention for the Paris Hiltons and the Kardashians, even though the Kardashians are very vocal about avoiding alcohol. This is in no way a good publicity for someone like Mariah. If it's a stunt it made her image cheap. That and the fact that she is allowing a child to be around drunk individuals and also drinking with them, wait until the press gets a hold of that. This is in no way helping Mariah's image, her health, her voice or her life. We don't need the constant party videos and pictures. That will again raise questions about her role as a mother because people already think she is too much of a diva to be a normal mom. While I don't think that's true but who will be able to stop the tabloids? Once that happens no amount of swearing and f bombs to the press will work. Mariah should know it's the age of the Internet, her kids will grow up and see these online. (Monday 1 August 2016; 14:10)

The problem (64,866) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The major problem with Mariah's camp right now is that every single person surrounding her is from Camp Bulochnikov. Her manager is Stella, her assistant is Stella's relative/friend, her lawyer and financial adviser is another of Stella's relative. Her social media is run by Mishka. She has basically no outside person. All the control in one person's hand is not safe neither is it smart. Especially since Stella never managed a client even half as big as Mariah in her life. She has no musical background, yet she is managing the biggest selling female artist of all time. If she had different people managing different aspects of her career, she would probably get to know when one team is not fit. Mariah probably doesn't even check the net to see what is going on so she will only get the story her current team tells her. She should wake up when there's still time. (Monday 1 August 2016; 10:54)

Re: Mimi L. (64,854) (64,861) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh and to answer the other question, it looks Kris was the one doing the makeup back in 2012-2013, judging by the "behind the scenes" pictures of her getting ready for Idol. Kris has done a good job on Mariah in the past, like say "Honey Remix", "Heartbreaker", the "Rainbow" era and several other times. He kept it natural and nice. I don't know why suddenly since the last year they have started with this harsh makeup. Maybe Mariah asked him to. (Monday 1 August 2016; 4:08)

Re: Random (64,845) (64,860) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha so much so these people will practically give credit for Mariah's voice to Stella. I am not talking about people who are just normally fine with Stella or giving her a chance to prove herself when the next era happens, that's fine, it's understandable. I am talking about the crazy ones that basically praise Stella more than Mariah and give credit to her for everything. Apparently she "revived" Mariah's career and made her relevant. I just can't wait to hear what Mariah has to say about that Zainab or whatever her name is saying that "Stella made Mariah relevant". (Monday 1 August 2016; 2:29)

Message from a UK Mix poster (64,859) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is a post from Mariah's UKMix threat, which I agree with. Well except for when he says the petition was stupid, but well he did say before that he signed it and he was actually defending the petition and only referenced it because the troll at UKMix was trying to diss it again. Here is the message. "As much as I'm critical about Stella, I can't ever understand how and why someone would bully Mishka, or even insult Stella on their own instagrams. It's doing nothing and getting them nowhere except a block list. It also makes Stella more bitter and driven to do the exact opposite of what everyone wants her to do. I don't follow either of them and only commented on Stella's picture once. I was throwing musical collaborations into the universe. With that being said, Stella has opened a lot of doors for Mishka being bullied. Of course, it doesn't make it right, but that is a major consequence of achieving fame. Mishka is famous among lambs for running Mariah's social media. That is an adult job, therefore when the job isn't done right, people will lash out on who is in charge. I don't know if Stella interprets people telling Mishka to log off of Mariah's instagram as cyberbullying, but she needs to understand what the root cause of the bullying is. If she wants to protect her daughter from bullies, then remove her from the spotlight. Mishka's instagram is still public, she tags her self on Mariah's instagram to gain followers and with followers comes trolls and haters. Sushiroll or whatever, Stella's younger daughter put her instagram on private and isn't dragged along to adult events, parties, clubs, nor does she have a role in Mariah's career. They are only like 2 years apart. Stella should try to protect her daughter instead of pushing her into the spotlight, giving her an important job in Mariah's career, and letting everyone know that 'she is Mariah's best friend'. She also shouldn't post pictures like this. As a mother, you should do whatever you can to protect your daughter. Letting her into the spotlight helps nothing and there are consequences. While I never understand anyone who bullies kids or adults on social media, it comes with fame. While I thought that petition was stupid and was getting no where, it is not a bullying petition. If you read the actual petition you would know that it asks Mariah to be put in charge of her own instagram. No one was bullying Mishka there so stop reaching." (Monday 1 August 2016; 1:49)

Cause (64,858) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can anyone tell me what caused Stella to lash out? I went to her instagram but there was nothing there. Mishka seems to have removed the last picture she uploaded on her instagram though, the one Stella re-posted. Was this the cause of some trolling? Does anyone know? (Monday 1 August 2016; 1:44)

Re: Stella and cyberbullying (64,834) (64,857) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree with you. Although I would never go and personally spam/bully Mishka or even Stella on their instagrams or any of their social media, I think Stella made it very easy for Mishka to be targeted. Stella also has another daughter who is never talked about or targeted simply because she stays away from the drama and Mariah's career. Although it' s sad that Mishka is being bullied (and regardless of what people might think my agenda is, I would never bully anyone, let alone a kid), but Stella is mostly responsible for it. Fans were angry at Stella about the stupid instagram posts before they knew it was Mishka who was behind it. That was made public by Stella herself when she included Mishka's name in the tour book. This led people to suddenly discover Mishka. Right after that Mishka started to post her own photos on Mariah's account, put her own tags in the photos (which I know is appealing for a 13 year old wanting to increase followers) but this lead people to Mishka's private account, which is left open for the public. We all know there are internet trolls everywhere and this was not going to go anywhere good. Stella didn't help matters by pushing the "Mishka and Mimi" hashtag and tagging Mishka in photos of Mariah where Mishka isn't even there. Then comes the creme de la creme, Stella and Mishka both post pictures of Mishka drinking hard liquor, talking about "being wasted" and Stella constantly flashing Mariah's life stlyle as her own. All these lead to Mishka being the prime target of the angry lambs who feel (so do I) that Stella is using Mariah to further her own career. So now they are lashing out at Mishka. I can't really blame Mishka for falling for the "sudden fame" and wanting to show off, we were all 13 once, but yes Stella is definitely to be blamed for what is happening to her daughter. I said this months back that Stella is opening the gates for her daughter to be dragged on social media by pushing them down everyone's throats. (Monday 1 August 2016; 1:42)

Re: Mimi L. (64,854) (64,856) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Aww Giovanni, you really are the sweetest. And you are right, I am not good at personally styling the hair, but I definitely think I can give reference photos to her hair-stylist, as for makeup and clothing, that's something I can easily do haha. I am not even bragging because honestly Mariah doesn't even need much makeup because her skin is really good. I don't know why Kris cakes up her face and does that awful cat eye which is definitely not flattering. A cat eye is for people like Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox. Mariah's should just be accentuated with a simple liner. You are definitely very good at picking dresses too. Maybe we can tag team it up haha. (Monday 1 August 2016; 1:32)

Re: Random (64,844) (64,853) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes because the "best producer" caption already existing wasn't enough haha. (Monday 1 August 2016; 0:43)

Re: Stella and Nicki (64,836) (64,849) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes, and this isn't the first time. Stella was part of Nicki's old documentary series. (Sunday 31 July 2016; 23:55)

Re: New fan video (64,835) (64,848) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes quite the cross between "Daydream" and "Honey" Mariah. She looks really nice and her features look so soft, she really doesn't need all the harsh makeup. (Sunday 31 July 2016; 23:53)

TMZ (64,842) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter TMZ saying what I said a while back, well I said Packer looks like he never touched a woman before, and they said Packer looks like he is a 16 year old while touching her. The loco over at UKMix also thinks that apparently the level of "true love" and "chemistry" that can clearly be seen between Packer and Mariah was never so apparent when Mariah was with Nick. Yes, I see now why Stella thought these were great pictures to leak. (Sunday 31 July 2016; 20:58)

Stuck in the same darn thing (64,837) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This user on UKMix, who is also a member of our board (again, not Travon), keeps bringing up (trying to make fun of ) the petition every day there. I mean thank you for publicizing it, when everyone forgets about it, in the guise of "hating on it" haha. You know who you are and you are seriously just doing free advertisement for Marissa's petition by now. I see how you are always laughed at and called loco on UKMix, something I couldn't agree more with. Always talking about how "everyone tries to sabotage Mariah" (while talking about JD, Nick and all) while also trying to say "Mariah is no fool, she knows exactly what she is doing". Decide dahlin'. Anyways this individual keeps bringing up the petition trying to belittle it, and they usually bring it up when no one else is really discussing anything even remotely close to the petition. For example - when people in UKMix were praising Mariah's "Complex" and "Clash" shoot and this user suddenly comes up with "I bet the petition people are feeling stupid and nuts now". Like child calm down. Now when Stella's unprofessional stupid behavior is being dragged again (and this won't be the last time), they bring up the petition again. No dahlin' we didn't go and spam Stella's instagram. Not everyone is as lifeless as you trying to suck up to Stella in case she ends up offering you a role on Mariah's show. But ya, keep bringing up the petition, you are helping us. If needed tweet it out and say "how stupid and pathetic is this?" will you? (Sunday 31 July 2016; 20:47)

Random (64,832) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok then. Lol I swear some of the lambs are the biggest suck ups ever. (Sunday 31 July 2016; 17:21)

Amber Rose article (64,831) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Carey also allegedly demands that her music is played at doctor's appointments, parent teacher conferences and at other people's concerts." Haha this is the best thing I have read today. But jokes aside does Mariah's people really carry big lights so that when people take pictures she has good lighting? That's a tad extreme. (Sunday 31 July 2016; 15:58)

Article: Mariah Carey's manager flips out on cyberbullies (64,830) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ow, Stella strikes again with her unprofessional response. She should have been prepared for this if she wanted to push her kids in the limelight so much. People like Kylie Jenner and all get it way worse. But what set her off really? What comment? Maybe Marissa should send the petition to Page Six too, just to really get Stella crazy. Does Mariah know if this woman keeps going off on tabloids? (Sunday 31 July 2016; 15:48)

Re: What's normal to you? (64,807) (64,817) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh I hate commenting on how she should live her personal life, but it's sad that she is repeating the same thing that happened to her even after saying she doesn't want to make her kids through it. Both Mariah and her kids had to go through their parents divorcing at age 4. The constant traveling is like how Mariah said she had to move around with her mom so much. Not getting to see their father as much. Plus these kids being around all the partying and booze. (Saturday 30 July 2016; 21:33)

Re: I Still Believe/Pure Imagination ft. Da Brat live (64,808) (64,813) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh "Breakdown" gives me life. Mariah's voice and Bone Thugs just went so good together. The song was perfection. The video is one of my favorite Mariah videos ever. Shame it never got a proper release. (Saturday 30 July 2016; 20:34)

Re: American Idol dresses (64,787) (64,788) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No problem at all. Wilfredo Rosado styled her during Idol. This is the same guy who styled her up until he was fired just months back, he also designed her new engagement ring. I was wondering how the same guy who made her look so fashionable during Idol was responsible for some of the worst fashion blunders post Idol. So I came to the conclusion, that it is quite possible that when Mariah was on Idol, she was given a lot of clothes by the fashion houses to wear on screen because AI has a huge audience and would get the dress noticed. So they probably sent her their best pieces and Wilfredo picked from there. Plus AI had a lot of say over what Mariah can wear on the show. So I guess that explains it. (Saturday 30 July 2016; 0:51)

New fan video (64,786) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This woman looks gorgeous here. Love everything about the look. She looks like she did during E=MC2 era. Love the effortlessly gorgeous hair, the cute top and I love me some casual Mariah. Seriously she looks like she could be freaking 25 here. (Saturday 30 July 2016; 0:22)
